Under completely maimed I mean no 'Keep this.' dialog appears and none of the changes takes effect, except on the imaginary monitors displayed. Hmm, after some pondering I am more likely to believe in the rightfullness of accusing xorg-x11-drv-noveau package. It is very sad, we have no error messages, the user (and I in particular) is left here in doubts and only guesswork remains. Cheers Endre-Ondra I have rather large doubts that nouveau is involved here, *especially* since you don't get a "Keep this" dialog box. That'd suggest to me the application isn't doing anything. Ben, Do you mean /usr/bin/gnome-display-properties, thus the control-center package? (This is my third candidate to blame from start.) While the VGA and DVB connectors were in use, no effect;after switching to HDMI connector it works. Somewhat strange. (BTW my personal issue is solved with changing output connector and using a HDMI->DVB cable). Cheers Endre or I have to add changing from VGA output to HDMI. Sorry, I omitted this detail! This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in the current release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Because the affected component is not scheduled to be updated in the current release, Red Hat is unable to address this request at this time. Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to propose this request, if appropriate, in the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. The issue lies around the gnome-settings-daemon. At graphical login no gnome-settings-daemon is running and the display preferences setting is ignored (for me the left and right monitors are swapped). After running gnome-keyboard-properties, the monitors position is restored and the keyboard settings take effect (Before the en layout is selected alone, after the en, hu and ru are available). The gnome-settings-daemon is running thereafter. The whole issue may be caused by a garbled startup-items setting. Endre/Ondra. Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 is in the Production 3 Phase. During the Production 3 Phase, Critical impact Security Advisories (RHSAs) and selected Urgent Priority Bug Fix Advisories (RHBAs) may be released as they become available. The official life cycle policy can be reviewed here: http://redhat.com/rhel/lifecycle This issue does not meet the inclusion criteria for the Production 3 Phase and will be marked as CLOSED/WONTFIX. If this remains a critical requirement, please contact Red Hat Customer Support to request a re-evaluation of the issue, citing a clear business justification. Note that a strong business justification will be required for re-evaluation.
